INTRODUCTION & DEFINATION OF BULLYING
Bullying often begins in the early years and can take many forms. It is estimated that one in seven children in the years between Kindergarten and eighth grade is either a bully, a victim or both. . The way that plays out in numbers is that on any given school day there may be as many as 160,000 students across the country may be staying at home for fear of bullies. Bullying is when a stronger person or group of people take advantage of a weaker person. It can take many forms, but there are four types that we all commonly recognize; cyber bullying, emotional bullying, physical bullying, and verbal bullying. . Bullying creates a ‘lose - lose’ situation for both the victim and the bully. Boys who are bullies in their younger years are more likely to be convicted of a crime by age 24. Victims are more likely to suffer from seemingly unrelated medical problems like colds, coughs, and sore throats. . In the work place it can start as excessive ambition and the drive to get ahead no matter who suffers. However, it can escalate to where it to a point where the bully’s individual interests take precedence over the business’s interests. .
BULLYING IN THE EARLY YEARS -
Bulling in schools should be addressed in the early grades. In the lower grades, bullying is most likely to take the form of physical and verbal abuse. This makes it easier to identify and address than the more subtle forms of emotional abuse that students may encounter in the upper grades. Young children may not grasp the definition that using power without legitimate authority is inappropriate. They do know that bullying and stealing is unfair. When children understand that early on they are far less likely to act as bullies later in life. Likewise, coping skills developed early in life are most likely to be carried through life. Learning these skills also help children develop into healthy adults who are not caught up in a cycle of permitting others to bully them, then taking advantage of others. .
BULLYING IN THE UPPER GRADES -
In the upper grades bullying is most likely to take the form of cyber, emotional and verbal bullying. Cyber bullying is defined as any bullying that takes place using electronic technology. This can be anything from phone calls to web sites and is one of the most infamously prevalent forms of bullying on the high school and college level today. At the high school level victims also face threats of hazing, , emotional bullying, and verbal bullying.
BULLYING AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL -
As is true for high schools, cyber bullying is one of the most frequent forms of bullying in colleges and universities. Cyber bullying is one of the most inescapable forms of bullying. Unlike the 160,000 school aged children who may be at home on any given day during the school year, , cyber bullies can harass their victims 24 hours a day, every day. Hazing is far more common on the university level where it was a common rite of passage students passed through in order to join a fraternity or sorority. It is sometimes not considered true “bullying” because it involves the victim’s consent, it is still inflicted by a stronger person or group upon someone weaker. Furthermore, the behavior is designed to humiliate and degrade the weaker person and cause lasting physical and emotional harm. When looked at from that prospective it fits the definition of hazing.
BULLYING AND THE DISABLED STUDENT-
Disability based harassment or bullying is defined as “Intimidation or abusive behavior toward a student based on disability that is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive, that it creates a hostile environment by interfering with or denying a student’s participation or receipt of benefits, services, or opportunities in the school’s program. . It can include any of the major forms of bullying including cyber, emotional, physical and verbal. The distinguishing characteristics are that it takes place in an educational environment and is inflicted on a disabled person.
CYBER BULLYING
Unlike other forms of bullying that involve more face to face contact, cyber bullying can take place at any time 24/7. Defined as any bullying that uses electronic media, it can take the forms of phone calls, text messages and tweets. It can also involve web sites, social media and chats. Sometimes the message is directed towards the victim. Sometimes it takes the form of photos or messages circulated about the victim. One of the most difficult aspects for the victim to cope with is that it can take place anonymously.
BULLYING IN THE WORK PLACE
Workplace environment factors are predictive of the potential for bullying in the workplace. A corporate culture that caries little or no accountability for negative behavior and encourages ingratiation and favoritism is fertile territory for bullying. . There are several factors that contribute the greatest likelihood of workplace bullying. A corporate remuneration and advancement system that includes zero-sum competition where only one employee can emerge as a victor is one factor. A workforce mix that includes some people who are manipulators contributes to the potential for bullying. In that situation, the individuals are not evil, just opportunistic. If the employer rewards them they take advantage, if not they have no reason to continue. An employer who tends to hire ambitious new staff members adds to this problem. The employer’s reaction is paramount in controlling or encouraging bullying. .
CONCLUSION
Bullying can take many forms, but it frequently can be controlled by educating the bullies, their victims and the executives and administrators who set the rules and create the micro-cultures.
BULLYING LESSON PLANS
These plans can be used in a variety of ways. Each is long enough, yet simple enough to present to a middle school class as a single, one period class as a separate lesson plan. It can also be used as a group exercise for a larger class or a higher grade. Some of these lesson plans can also be used as homework assignments to follow-up on what was learned or class preparation.
What is Bullying
Sometimes it is hard to recognize bullying when it is taking place. Before it can be stopped, it needs to be identified. The definition of bullying includes a wide range of behavior. The main defining element does not change; it is when a stronger person takes advantage of someone who is weaker. Now if one kid pushes or hits another that is clearly bullying. The challenge here is to think of some of the more obscure and harder to figure out ways someone could be bullied. List out five different ways someone can be bullied in each category.

Discussion Groups
Using the lists and definition have the students come up with one universally acceptable definition of Bullying. Be attentive to group dynamics and make sure no bullying takes place. If some students insist upon being heard, paraphrase their last statement back to them and tell them it is time for another student to be heard.
It may be helpful to use a “Talking Stick” in this situation. That can be as simple as a rolled up page of paper that is just passed from one person to another.
Goal
Have students come up with a comprehensive, mutually agreed on definition of Bullying and a list of actions that make up behavior associated with that behavior.
Bullying in Entertainment
Many TV programs show people your age working out situations that involve bullying. Write an example in each category where someone acted like a bully or was a victim. What happened? How did the victim and friends handle it? How could it be prevented.

Group Discussions
Many TV programs show people your age working out situations that involve bullying. Write an example in each category where someone acted like a bully or was a victim. What happened? How did the victim and friends handle it? How could it be prevented.
Most of the students will have watched one or more of the same programs. When you have one or more instances that are shared commonly among the students initiate a discussion about that program. This is another great situation for your talking stick. If it seems advisable, use it yourself occasionally and pass it to a non-participating student. It is easier for anyone, and especially young people to discuss other people’s problems than it is for them to open up about their own.
Goal
Students should come away from this exercise with an understanding that bullying is not just limited to their environments and situations. They should also be able to list several kinds of bullying and coping mechanisms.
